Sunderland will start their 2016-17 Premier League campaign with a tough trip to Manchester City.

The first month of the season also sees them travel to Southampton, with the small matter of a Wear-Tees derby in between.

Elsewhere, Sunderland face a Boxing Day trip to Manchester United before a trip to Burnley on New Years Eve.

The start of April throws up a tricky seven days too. It starts with a trip to Watford and is followed by a trip to defending champions Leicester midweek. Days later they then host Manchester United at the Stadium of Light.
